function chilkatExample() {

    var json = new chilkat.JsonObject();

    //  If a number is too large for a 32-bit signed integer, then call UpdateNumber instead of UpdateInt.
    //  The large integer is passed to UpdateNumber as a string, but in the JSON it will be an integer.

    //  For example:
    json.UpdateNumber("largeNumber","6884556842");

    //  If the integer is small enough for a 32-bit signed integer, then use UpdateInt:
    json.UpdateInt("reasonableInt",123456);

    json.EmitCompact = false;
    console.log(json.Emit());

    //  The output:
    //  Notice the large number passed as a string does not have quotes in the JSON

    //  {
    //    "largeNumber": 6884556842,
    //    "reasonableInt": 123456
    //  }
